This year is interesting because their are so many players who seem like they could fall anywhere from the late first to the second round. Their are a lot of guys who seem like sure fire to 15/20 picks, but it gets pretty interesting after that. It is tough to project someone who will be a surprise first rounder this year because their are so many players who seem to be in that same tier. This is definitely a unique draft class.

I've talked to some coaches at Oregon, and he's really grown up since he's been at FSU from what i've gotten. Has been nothing but a hard worker here apparently.

And if he is a recovering from drugs or alchohol he certainly isn't unique in that area. I tend to give kids in their early 20s the benefit of the doubt because stupidity sort of comes with the territory.

My take is he is maybe a slight gamble but looks to have got his act together and it's not like he was out there hitting women or stealing things.

He was also dealing though. Kyle was known in Mission Viejo for his partying and rolling. So if he stopped, it must have been not over a year or two ago.

Maybe one of the receivers, like Markus Wheaton or Quinton Patton. I could also potentially see Terrance Williams going high; 97-1,832-12 is an impressive stat line, and he has the size/athleticism to back it up. Other than that, maybe someone like Margus Hunt, Corey Lemonier, Blidi Wreh-Wilson.

And neither would Hunt. At all. It would be a mild surprise if he fell out of the first.

It wouldn't be a shock to see Cyprien or Datone Jones. But it would be shocking to see someone like Nassib or E.J. Manuel pop up in the top half of the first round, which I could definitely see happening.

Some other good options would be D.J. Hayden, Terron Armstead and Larry Warford. Most people believe that based on talent alone, Hayden is a bonafide 1st rounder. Armstead has the skill set of a LT and it will between him and Watson to see who will be the next true LT off the board after the Big 3. And after the top two guards Warmack and Cooper are gone, I think Warford is the next guy up. Someone like Indianapolis or San Fran could definitely use a nasty guy like this on the interior of their OL.

Kyle Long isn't a terrible option, but I think character concerns should keep him in the 2nd.

I wouldn´t be surprised to see EJ Manuel go in round 1. Given how far teams have been willing to reach to get a QB the last couple of years, it wouldn´t shock me the least to see a QB needy team at the top of round 2 trade back into the first round to get him. Now, if Manuel goes in the top 20, I would be very surprised, but if guys like Jake Locker can go in the top 10, and Christian Ponder can be a top 15 pick, I dont see why one team wouldn´t be intrigued enough by Manuels combination of size, arm and atheltic upside to make him a first round pick.

How about a guy like The Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu? Maybe a team falls in love with his aggressive playing style and natural playmaking ability, and pulls the trigger in the last couple of picks in the 1st round?
